There is no doubt that this development if it goes ahead will put more strain on all the services from schools through to drains. It wiil completely contradict the green wedge/green infrastructure policy. What is the point of defending for decades these green "lungs" as areas of restraint. For developers to rip them up. The challenge I beleive is brown field sites, but they wont take them on as it is more work. Also to think that they will want to sign up to 40% affordable housing (which is a laudable goal) along with green open areas takes some believing.
